I'm learning to love autobattlers and it's because this Steam demo let me build a gnarly squad of combat freaks out of weird meat and goblin blood

Having been playing games almost as long as I've been alive, I've fought and killed more goblins than I could ever hope to count. While MMOs, RPGs, RTSes, and all kinds of other acronyms have happily enabled my lifelong war with goblinkind, Flask—an autobattler that just released a demo on Steam—is the rare sort of game that's prompted me to ask instead what's in a goblin's heart.

The answer, of course, is valuable goblin blood. That's why I—and other debt-ridden alchemists—are dispatching squads of mutant homunculi adventurers into the wastes beyond the Goblin Gate to carve a bloody (and therefore lucrative) path towards personal solvency. And I'm having an excellent time.
